How old is your Liteace, how many km's and what problems have you encountered.

[chiekot]

Hey liteace owners, kindly post here the age of your van, km reading and serious problems you have experienced with it. Baka pwede na rin i-post ang solution.

Thanks in advance.

Oct '96 Litace GXL with 215,000 + kms. on the odometer. Almost all parts ng suspension except shocks napalitan na, so is the evaporator, condenser and compressor ng aircon. Overhauled the carburator twice during that period. Almost everything sa underchassis ay nagalaw na. But fortunately, engine ni hindi pa nabuksan. One problem we encountered is overheating especially when aircon is engaged in a traffic, pero kung off naman hindi nataas ang temp niya. No problems with the engine with regular oil change and tune-up lang. Idles smoothly to this day. Corrosion usually appears in all units sa may front fender near the step boards.

one thing more, i usually get only 7.5 to 8 per liter lang ng petrol, city driving.

I think almost all liteace owners experienced overheating with this baby. Is there a way of solving it? balak ko kasi kumuha ng isng used unit.

my liteace

ngayon, on restoring stage, aquried last year, and still contemplating whether o keep it or sell, kasi kukuha na ako ng spacegear kahit alin dito ang itsura.

planning to convert my liteace to manual, kung di parin nawala overheating nya on highspeed even na manual tranny na siya, palit makina na ako (3C-te or kung kakasya ang 2L-Te or even a 3L-Te!)

invite kita dito

If god permits, I'll be owning one this weekend. A 1992 model, 91km, original paint and very fresh inside-out.

I'll be using my liteace as an alternate to my VTI.

my lite ace dn ako model 96 pero wla ako alm sa makina whahahha

ang alm ko lng mg pa porma sound set up etc..

pero tol un lite ace ko d ng oover heat khit nk aircon pa o hindi

khit heavy trafic pa lwa tlga over heat temperature ko steady lng sa low

my kinabit kze d2 sa ilalim ng van ko pero d ko alm twg dun whahahah

[alwayz_yummy]

sabi ko sa sarili ko, panu ooverheat to, e 2 ang radiator, 1extra main fan, 2 aux fans at may clutch fan pa! pero, nasolve na overheat ko > silicon oil lang pala sa clutch fan! suspect ko is yung matic, pag naconvert ko to manual tranny, lalamig pa to (another heat-source kasi ang matic...

2c-turbo, diesel ang makina nun(yun ang faored ng manong tsuper ng FX(matipid at somewhat may hatak), at matic...papalitan ko ng manual tranny and 3C-turbo pag nagkapera...

tatakot pa ako magpalit to 2kd-ftv(makina ng innova) kasi may choking prob! pero kung may makukuhang 2kd-ftv na 100%working and complete(w/ harness and ECU) at under 60 thousand pesos...

gaan lang ang liteace compared to other vans, mga 1,500kgs lang....parang kotse lang na pinalaki...kaya pag pinalitan mo ng potent engine ang liteace, i think lalaban yan sa highway...

mahina ang original engine mo (5K)

eto ang easy swap choices mo ->

1.6-options
4AGE HH(16-valve),(20 valves) silver top,(20 valves-VVT) black top
4AGZE (16-valves-super charged!)

2.0 options
3S-GE or 3S-GTE(turbo)

diesel options:
2C-turbo-->eto ang ride ko(click mo link sa sig ko to see)
2.0-turbo diesel, slightly powerful sa orig mo, pero mas matipid, hanap ka lang ng may manual tranny, kalimitan matic ang kasama nito..wag FX tranny kasi ung lever! may cables!

3C-turbo-->(2.2 turbo diesel) eto mas sulit kung eto palit mo, hanap ka lang ng may manual tranny, kalimitan matic ang kasama nito

radical choices->
2L(2.4L)/3L(2.8)-turbo diesel, 5L (3.0 non-turbo na gamit ng old hi-ace super grandia)

2KD-FTV (2.5L D4d na makina ng diesel INNOVA/HILUX 4x2)-->problem nito, read mo sa D4d woes at since bago pa, MAHAL pa cost ng makina! pangarap ko tong palit pagdating ng panahong ok na...

[blindindienoid]

anu makina mgnda 4 lite ace!?

kze lite ace ko ngaun un 5k engine amf 120 lng takbo

mgkno nmn magagastos pag change engine!?

[alwayz_yummy]

ayan ang choices po binigay ko na. kung gas engines, ka, dont expect much torque(pull) pero sa speed bawi ka. pag ung diesel 3c-turbo mo, balanced economy, power and speed, low fuel cost pa(diesel) ok naman maintenance ang diesel pero dapat mas-scheduled on-time kaysa sa gas para di umusok.

magbudget ka ng 30-50 thousand, merong mga nagconvert na ng 4age sa FX nila(na mechanically identical halos sa liteace) or 3c-turbo. wag ka munang mag 2kd-ftv(makina ng innova) kasi mahal pa yun for sure


eto link ng thread for 4age swap> http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showt...highlight=4age

PM mo si EssB or si bosstl..sila ang nag swap na sa FX ng 4age..

if you are considering 3c-t. the price range will be from 10k-40k
we got a 3c-te * 10k
while 3c-t * 30k

3c-te: 94kW*4000rpm 206Nm*2200rpm
3c-t: 74kW*4200rpm 216Nm*2600rpm

unit converter

do you really want to change engine just to go beyond 120km/h?

in my opinion, you should look for a car or suv to do that job...

these are "lite" weight vans. vans are easy to roll...
